Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Islinda Would Die Tonight

"I believe both of us have been at odds lately," Aldric said to Issac, who was seated in his office.

"I believe so," Issac concurred.

"I told you I don’t forgive betrayal," Aldric sternly reminded him.

He stood from his chair and began to circle around Isaac like a predator closing in on its prey. The hairs on Issac’s body stood on edge from that ominous gesture; however, he sat still and resigned himself to fate. Whatever happened, he would gladly bear the consequences for his actions. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"I know," Issac answered.

Aldric stopped moving and looked him in the eyes. He said, "And yet, you did betray me. You collaborated with my brother and almost ruined Islinda’s life."

Guilt flashed across Issac’s face upon recalling that incident. However, he schooled his expression and, sitting ramrod straight, he said, "I didn’t exactly have a choice, and trust me when I say I haven’t forgiven myself for that."

"Fine," Aldric breathed after a long stare. "It’s all in the past, and Islinda has managed to ’coerce’ me into giving you a second chance." He emphasized, recalling the way the smart human manipulated Eli into the deal.

Issac stood up from his seat, then bowed his head to Aldric, saying with gratitude, "You’re humble, my prince. I can’t thank you enough."

Aldric appeared unmoved by his words, but inwardly he was pleased with his gratitude.

He told Issac, "Kalamazoo has been taking over your duties. He is a bit clumsy, but not too bad. I’ll suggest you take him under your wing. However, be well aware not to trust him. Except for those I personally recruited, no one under this roof is to be trusted."

"Your advice is appreciated, my prince. Would that be all, Prince Aldric?"

"Yes, that would be all for now. You’re dismissed."

"Thank you, Prince Aldric." Issac prepared to leave.

However, just as his hand reached for the doorknob, he heard Aldric say, "Issac."

He turned. "Yes, my prince?"

"There will not be a second chance," he warned.

Issac swallowed nervously and got the point.

"Of course, my prince. Clearly understood."

"Good."

He subtly nodded his head and opened the door. About to head out, he nearly bumped into Maxi at the entrance.

"Hello, my lovely Fae," she chirped, waving at him excitedly.

However, that did not fool Issac, as his brows furrowed with suspicion. Had she been listening in on their conversation?

Just as he opened his mouth to scold her, Maxi kissed him on the lips without warning. It was a brief kiss made to disarm him, and it worked well.

"I’ll see Aldric now," she pulled him out of the way and went in, slamming the door in his face.
